In winter, you need to be thinking about comfort food rather than salad (We mean, who wants to eat salad in January?). Comfort food sounds very self-indulgent but actually, it’s very sensible to serve substantial soups, stews and hearty puddings during the cold weather as it helps to keep the chill out. You’ll also be keeping your costs down by keeping the food more seasonal – and try to source local produce as well.
At dinner itself, you could move onto that old classic favorite, meat pies, or a delicious casserole served with mac n' cheese and mashed potatoes. For dessert think elegant school dinners, you’ll hear appreciative murmurs if you offer delights like sticky toffee pudding with custard or apple crumble. And always remember - your caterer knows best!
As far as dessert, your winter wedding cake should reflect the season and the flavor can be rich and decadent. Caramel, coffee flavored, spice cake, moist carrot cake, orange or mint accented chocolate cake, white chocolate cranberry cake are all perfect choices to celebrate in the cold and ice.
An alternative winter dessert could be having a hot chocolate bar for your guests, with all the marshmallows and whip cream they desire - but don't forget about the coffee too!
